PREFACE 


HE  exhibition  of  Early  Engraving  in  America 


has  been  arranged  to  give  a comprehensive  sur- 
vey of  this  field,  in  response  to  the  growing  interest 
manifested  by  collectors  and  by  the  public. 

The  material  for  the  exhibition  has  not  been  selected 
in  accordance  with  any  critical  standard,  but  with  a 
view  of  showing  — as  broadly  as  limits  of  available 
space  would  permit — what  was  done  by  engravers 
here  during  early  years  of  this  country.  No  research 
worthy  of  the  name  has  been  possible  during  the  year 
spent  in  gathering  the  material.  Such  work  is  left  to 
the  student  and  collector  along  their  chosen  special 
lines  in  this  vast  field. 

The  present  catalogue  has  been  compiled  to  serve 
not  only  as  a guide  through  the  exhibition,  but  as 
a hand-book  for  collectors  of  early  American  prints. 
An  alphabetical  arrangement  by  engravers  has  been 
adopted  as  most  serviceable.  For  convenience  in  find- 
ing certain  subjects,  an  Index  of  Subjects  has  been 
added  at  the  end  of  the  volume. 

After  the  engraver’s  name  a few  data  concerning  his 
period  of  activity,  etc.,  are  given.  These  are  based 
largely  on  information  obtained  from  Mr.  D.  McN. 
Stauffer,  of  New  York.  The  title  of  each  print  is  fol- 
lowed by  a brief  description.  The  inscriptions  on  the 
engravings  have  been  printed  in  italics  to  differentiate 


m 


them  from  the  descriptive  matter.  These  inscriptions 
are  given  in  full,  except  in  a few  cases,  in  which 
omissions  of  part  of  the  lettering  have  been  indicated 
by  dots. 

Below  the  descriptive  text,  at  the  left,  the  measure- 
ments are  given,  and  at  the  right  side  the  shape  of  the 
engraving  and  the  technical  method  employed.  The 
dimensions  of  prints  are  given,  measured  to  the  ex- 
tremes of  the  engraved  surface,  exclusive  of  lettering. 
Sub-measurements  refer  to  the  essential  representation, 
exclusive  of  accessories  and  frame.  Measurements  are 
given  in  inches  and  sixteenths  of  inches.  For  instance, 
H.  2.1 1.  W.  0.15,  means  that  the  engraved  surface  in 
question  measures  two  inches  and  eleven-sixteenths  from 
top  to  bottom,  and  fifteen-sixteenths  of  an  inch  from 
side  to  side. 

The  terms  right  and  left,  used  in  description,  are 
meant  to  designate  the  right  or  left  of  the  spectator, 
not  of  the  print.  This  rule  does  not,  however,  apply 
to  the  description  of  portraits,  where  the  movement 
or  position  of  the  right  hand  or  left  arm  naturally 
refers  to  hand  or  arm  of  the  person  described. 

In  Armorial  book-plates,  the  shield,  bearing  the 
arms,  is  always  in  the  centre ; the  crest  is  always 
above  it,  the  motto  below  the  arms,  unless  otherwise 
specified. 

The  brevity  of  description  demanded  some  abbrevia- 
tions. Thus,  in  the  case  of  portraits,  bust , to  left , will 
be  understood  to  mean  bust  turned  to  the  left  (of  the 
spectator) ; in  a landscape,  river  to  left  foreground , 
stands  for  river  flowing  to  the  left  side  of  the  fore- 
ground, In  the  measurements  H.  stands  for  Height , 


IV 


W.  for  Width , S.  h.  for  Sub-height , etc. ; Diam.  means 
Diameter.  On  the  opposite  side,  Rectangle,  b.-l.  or 
Oval,  b.-l.,  indicate  that  there  is  a border-line  (or  border- 
lines) around  the  rectangle  or  oval. 

The  letters  B.  H.  or  C.,  followed  by  numbers,  found 
below  the  descriptive  text  of  the  print  between  the 
measurements  and  the  manner  of  engraving,  refer  to 
the  following  three  authorities : — 

B.  = W.  S.  Baker.  The  engraved  portraits  of  Wash- 

ington. Philadelphia:  1880. 

H.  = Charles  Henry  Hart.  Catalogue  of  the  engraved 
portraits  of  Washington.  The  Grolier  Club.  New 
York:  1904. 

C.  = The  Hampton  L.  Carson  Collection  of  Engraved 

Portraits  of  Jefferson,  Franklin,  and  Lafayette. 
Catalogue  compiled  ...  by  Stan.  V.  Henkels. 
Philadelphia:  1904. 

Under  the  description  of  Book-plates,  the  letter  A., 
followed  by  a number  refers  to : 

Charles  Dexter  Allen.  American  Book-plates,  A Guide 
to  their  Study  with  Examples.  New  York  : 1894. 

Examples  of  Paper-money,  Coins  and  Seals  have 
been  grouped  together  in  an  Appendix.  These  speci- 
mens have  been  added  to  the  exhibition  as  helpful 
evidence  concerning  the  state  of  engraving  in  other 
fields  than  the  one  under  consideration. 

The  list  of  Institutions  and  Collectors  from  whom 
loans  have  been  received  will  be  found  at  the  end  of 
this  Preface,  which  cannot  be  closed  without  an  ex- 
pression of  sincere  thanks  to  all  those  friends  of  the 
Museum  who  have  furthered  this  difficult  undertaking-
